Sustainability

Our commitment to students
includes a commitment to protecting
the future of their environment.

We see the integration of sustainable features into our communities as a critical component of delivering
the best experiences for students. We know that a healthy, comfortable and socially responsible living environment
is important to our residents, and to the future of our planet.

It's not only the right thing to do; it also makes good business sense - generating long-term value through
operational efficiencies that benefit our company, our stakeholders and our communities.

New Development

We conceive ACC student communities with an eye toward sustainability.

Site Planning and Circulation: Minimize heat loads and facilitate natural ventilation through site planning. Situate communities on or in close proximity to campuses, emphasizing pedestrian and bicycle circulation and minimizing vehicular impact.

Inspire: Use sustainable community features and programs as residential teaching aids.

ACC has extensive experience building LEED-certified projects across the country and provides our university partners with innovative and practical methods for improving the sustainability of each proposed project.
